PARMA TRY FOR NEGRO

By James Burton

PARMA have opened negotiations with Lazio in a bid to bring the Biancoceleste's 29-year-old defender Paolo Negro to the Ennio Tardini.

Negro has become frustrated at his limited appearances for Lazio during the past&nbsp;12 months and is understood to be keen on a move away from the Stadio Olimpico.

Somewhat bizarrely, the Gialloblu are reported to be offering their recently acquired Danish international Martin Laursen in exchange for Negro.

Laursen only arrived at the Ennio Tardini a few days ago after three seasons at Verona. The 23-year-old was a key member of the Verona side that secured a place in Serie A next season after a relegation play-off.
